You know what. You know what we need.

Game where the playable clans are Tzimisce (for me, 0/14 games), Salubri (for you, 0/14 games), Hecata (for @nevertrustanoracle, 1/14 games), Ravnos (for @nightingaletrash, 2/14 games), Gangrel (also for me, 3/14 games), and Lasombra (for @robotslenderman, 5/14 games) and that's it.

Extra bonus points if there's not a single Ventrue in the entire thing. They're just not there, nor Toreador, nor Brujah. No one even comments on it. Of course they wouldn't be there, why would they be there? There are no Ventrue and no one thinks twice. Maybe there's a token mention of someone who might be from a clan who considers themselves natural rulers and are a dab hand with Dominate and you think maybe, maybe, but in the end they're just another Lasombra. Oh well. Who'd have a clan like Ventrue in a game?

Out of curiosity, what's your opinion of Clan Ventrue?

Honestly, it's not really my favourite. Not huge on either nobility nor the business world, and I'm really not a fan of strong structures of hierarchy, which is also why I'm not a fan of the Camarilla in general. It seems too focused on tradition to examine how that tradition can be actively harmful to people, and too focused on keeping and maintaining power.

There are Ventrue characters I quite like, like Jan and Mithras (it's a little more complicated with LaCroix, since I like him best when he's not acting like a typical Blue Blood), but the clan as a whole just leaves me cold.
